The only thing i really have to worry about is that black clip on the back of the body of my supra......i will probably start out buy gluing it to see if it work and then i will use some sort of adhesive.

are you going to put some sort of mount under the black clip??? Also the front slots on mini-zs are the same right????

I'll post mine tonight when I get home, though the pictures that I posted here ( http://www.tinyrc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14359 ) show pretty well what I did to mount it.

As promised, here's a pic showing the body mount points in detail.

You said in your link that the rear mounting clip would have to be fabricated...how did you exactly do that???

I didn't actually fabricate a rear clip. I used velcro on the sides (on the battery clips) as shown in the thread instead.

OHHHH from the picture it kinda lloked like the battery holder had been burned and i didnt get what you were pointing to...but know i do. How does the velcro work...like does it hold the body pretty securely???

Combined with the front tab, it holds securely on this body. The sides fit fairly tightly against the battery holders, so that helps.

I just tried out my old Tokoros Power Runner body, which apparently are compatible with Mini-Z bodies. It fits almost perfectly. It just could be a little more secure, but that can be remedied. The only real problem is that the antenna hole is off, but it just needs to be drilled in a different place.
